South China Sea Dispute Settled? New Map Claims China Doesn’t Own 80% Of The Area

Through countless trips between Vietnam and the U.S., one historian can now accurately say that China should have no claim on its disputed territories with Vietnam along the South China Sea.

Dt. Tran Duc Anh Son, a Vietnamese historian and deputy director of the Da Nang Institute for Socio-Economic Development had made several trips to the U.S. to head to Yale University Library and the U.S. Library of Congress in order to gather evidence the disputed Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) along the East Vietnam Sea should belong to Vietnam without contest. During his trips, he also found some map collections at the Harvard-Yenching Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts that gave clear proof of Vietnam’s claims.

According to Dr. Son, the evidence is found in two map collections, which were sketched during the Qing dynasty reign back in the 17th and 18th centuries. The first collection is made up of as much as 200 maps, none of which showed Nansha Islands or Xisha Islands, which is now how China refers to Truong Sa and Hoang Sa respectively.

According to a report from Tuoi Tre News, the second collection Dr. Son found is the “Atlas von China,” which stated Hainan Island as China’s southernmost point. At the same time, Dr. Son also found other maps that were dated up to 1930, which also failed to mention Nansha and Xisha Islands. Dr. Son is now confident that China’s claims on Vietnam’s disputed islands have no basis in history.

Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministryconfirmed that the 12th Senior Officials’ Meeting on the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC )will be held in Vietnam on June 9. Among the goals is the promotion of “pragmatic maritime cooperation.” China is yet to react to Dr. Son’s new findings.

And what was the countries of Vietnam, Philippines during the 18th, 19th, 20th centuries? ya'll didn't even own or control "your own" countries, but you want to claim territories at sea during the time when you were owned by certain Western imperialist powers? If anything, China has got the most rights in the SCS as China was the only independent nation during the same period when most of Southeast Asia countries were owned/ruled/colonized by the European imperialist countries. China was also the most frequent user and transversed the SCS for centuries before Western imperialism invaded Asia. And now, China have the duty and responsibility to be the guarantor of security in the SCS as it is the strongest power in the region.

USA, an outsider, colonial, imperialist invader need to pack up and leave.

China is going no where, South China Sea is going no where. Communism is over, but not Western imperialism. Who will you fight for? Cultural affinity and see the rise of Asian Century? or throw your lot in with the US, the heir of Western imperialist invasion of Asia.

Vietnam is independence state in south of China from 10th century.

Vietnam dynasties paid tribute to China for such recognitions in the past. There is such kind of bribery money for friendship diplomacy relation. In reality, China Qing Emperor has accepted the name Yuenan Vietnam instead of Nanyue Namviet.

Apply your logic, China is also ruled by Mongolian, Manchurian and westerner Imperialism until recently. This matter is said by our countrymen on this forum. Qing Dynasty didn't cared about such Islands in SCS. China claim 9 line from 1948 in SCS is baseless.
